   -Battloid mode: May use all of the pilots own personal combat skills, such as Brawl (or Martial Arts), Brawling Parry, Doge, Melee Combat, Melee Parry, Sneak, Blaster (for GU-11 Gunpod OR other 'aquired' weapons of blaster type), and even Thrown Weapons.

   -Guardian mode: May use the same skills at half the skill dice, EXCEPT Melee Combat, Melee Parry, Sneak, or Thrown Weapons.  The Guardian mode may attack in hand-to-hand, but only to punch (Brawl) or block an attack (Brawling Parry), as shown above.  While the Guardian may lack much of the abilities of the Jet or Battloid modes, it can hover in place (the Jet CANNOT hover), perform Vertical Take-offs or Landings (VTOL), and skim across the ground at max speed.  While skimming ground level, it may Dodge at full skill dice, and also make use of ground structures for cover to help evade airborne enemies.  While in Guardian mode, the Veritech may also target Walker scale vehicles with no penalty to the dice rolls, Speeder scale as Walker scale, etc, because of the increased stability in this mode.

  Other Equipment:
      Fuel Capacity: With Protoculture, micronized reactors and the science of Robotechnology, it has a useful lifespan of about 12 years, half that with constant use, so it can have a constant burn indefinitely for this period of time.
      Radar: 200 miles/321.80km, can track up to 48 targets.
      Motion Detector/Collison Warning System: Close range 200ft/61m, sounds alarm and red light warns pilot of impending collision and/pr immediate target.
      Radio/Video Communications: wide band and directional, radio/video telecast capabilities.  Range 600 miles/965.4km, or can be boosted indefinately via satellite relays.
      Laser Communications: Long range, directional line-of-sight, 150,000 miles.
      Laser Targeting System: Range 200 miles.
      Combat Computer: Calculates, stores and transmits data onto the cockpit computer screen or Heads Up Display (H.U.D.).  Patches in with targeting computer.
      External Audio Pickup: Sound amplification system, range 300ft/91.5m
      Loudspeaker: External, amplifies the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
      External Video Surveillance System: Video camera relays images to a cockpit monitor.  360 degree rotation.  Range 300ft/91.5m.  Telescopic magnification 6x.
      Telescopic Optical Enhancement: Range 1600ft/488m.  Field of Vision 20ft/6.1m.
      Shoulder Headlight/Spotlights (Battloid mode): Range 300ft/91.5m.
      Hydraulic Pilot Chair: In Battloid mode, the head can open forward like a hatch and the pilot's seat can rise out of the veritech 10ft/3.0m and retract back inside.
      Ejector Seat: In emergency, the pilot's seat can instantly eject, in any mode.  In Battloid mode, the head moves aside, and the chair rockets out of the top.
      Utility Arms: Set of small, retractable armshoused in right forearm, to perform delicate work and effect repairs.  Each arm has a Strength/Hull of 5D Speeder scale, and allows use of the Repair skill, as well as other skills that could be applied through use of these arms outside the Veritech, perhaps even Computer Operations/Repair or Demolitions.  GM discretion.
      Self-Destruct: Last ditch effort to prevent capture of the Veritech, usually preceded by ejection.  8D damage, Starfighter scale, 10ft/3m radius.
      Heat/Radiation Shields:  An extra armored plate can cover the transparent canopy of the cockpit to help resist extreme heat and radiation such as atmospheric reentry or other such environments.  When the shield is in place, add +3D to resist elements that would affect the pilot, including direct assaults on the cockpit.  Otherwise, the Veritech uses its normal 5D Hull dice.
      Independent Oxygen and Circulation System.
      Detachable Pilot's Compartment: In situations where the Veritech is damaged, powered pown, or otherwise unable to move or be used, the cockpit can be detached by the pilot or another pilot in a Veritech or other applicable mecha/walker (or simply someone who has the right tools on hand) to save the pilot if the fighter is not salvageable or canot be moved (such as in the middle of heated combat).  The cockpit (entire nose section of the Veritech) can be attached to the lower arm section of another Veritech (like the Gunpod) and carried for rescue.  Will be placed on the underside in Jet mode.

Description: This is an armor shroud for the standard Veritech/Valkyrie Fighter.  It can only be used while in Battloid/Soldier mode, and while in this configuration the fighter's speed and maneuverability is highly limited, with extra boosters and maneuvering thrusters to give it the speed that it has in this mode, comparative to a standard Battloid.  But its firepower is incredibly destructive, loaded with dozens of missiles (See the MISSILES Chart above for what kinds it can use!!!), and they can be launched in the usual volleys using the targetting systems installed in all Veritechs/Valkyries at this time.  Also, with added weight and mass, the Armored Veritech has slightly more powerful damage dice in hand-to hand combat.
   The differences between Robotech and Macross are again about the same as mentioned in previous entries.
